Precisely 73 days ago was My first day here on steemit, since that I have studied and learn a lot about it and I keep doing it, I feel like the process of non stop learning is part of a Steemian life. only after a couple of days after my very first day here I have gathered enough courage to write my first Authored post.
I spent a whole dawn to write it an several hours of the day with asking some friends to help me to make it in the perfect english (It really has too many mistakes since English is not my mother tongue and I didn't have the habit to write it). and the result was a little desapointing...
Less than 10 people have read and onle one 2 has commented and its value was less than 5 cents . At first I really thought like maybe I shouldn't try to keep posting but only focus on commenting since I have already made comments that was gas given me 1, 2, 5 $ and even a unique who achieve the 100 $ in value. therefore my logic conclusion was I didn't worth to was so much time to produce a good quality post instead of use the same time to do hundred of comments.
As time pass by I realized that the quality of the post is very important but not the only one factor that makes posts to be rewarded. But exposure is equally important. I mean when you are a brand new user with no followers it is almost like it doesn't really matter how amazing, productive, meaningful, inspiring... how good is the content you are producing, the only real chance you have to be fairly rewarded for your hard work is if you are lucky enough that in the exactly time you post it there is someone which a very high Steem power, or a really influent person is looking at the new tab, see and get interested enough for read, upvote or even resteem it, couse in a matter of seconds your so hard worked post will be buried down into oblivion by the others new posts.
I'm not saying it is impossible for you as a new user to have your greatly done post noticed, just that it is extremely improbable. That's why I decided to invest my time as a new Steemian trying to making bounds commenting and interacting with others content first before really focus on producing posts. If you are also suffering this same struggling as a new user than that is the advice my experience have teach me and I would like to share with you.
You don't should stop doing your good quality Authored posts, in fact you should keep doing some even if they are not being properly noticed or rewarded. But it will be there saved in your profile, and ever new connection you make who might have liked one of your comments or talked with you in a project or chat room you're participating who decided to have a look in your profile will see the good quality content you are willing to do, and soon you will see your posts and rewards will be increasing with time, and you will eventually feel more confident to invest more of your time on producing good content until the point you will not worry about getting noticed anymore, but to keep the the good quality of your posts.
Ps: Remember by just clicking in the resteem button you will be giving an amazingly support to great content authors to keep doing his good work. So do not hesitate to resteem or even making a post about a good content you have seen, share it with your Steemit brothers and sisters! ^^
